SERVICES To BE PROVIDED
The Contractor will perform traffic volume counts, turning movement counts, and pedestrian and
bicycle counts with approach summaries (according to the spec sheet in Attachment A). Contractor
can elect to use either video/sensor,manual counts,or other technology as long as the data requested
is sufficiently captured. Type of counts may include:
• Traffic volume
• Turning movement
• Pedestrian and bicycle counts with summary
The City has annual pedestrian and bicycle counts in the spring at approximately 45 locations around
the city, with one additional site counted quarterly. The City would like to have these sites ideally
counted the same day (except for seasonal count site), however if that is not feasible it is acceptable
to have them done at other listed dates at the same time of day (see Attachment A).
Quarterly Count: A 4-hour count (2-6 PM divided and summarized into 2 count IDs (2-4 and 4-6
PM) in August, November, February and May at 99W/Greenberg-Main (Station ID 36) conducted
on a fair weather mid-week weekday (Tuesday,Wednesday, or Thursday).
Traffic volume and turning movement counts would be requested on an as-required basis, along with
any additional pedestrian and bicycle counts.
Deliverables:
• For traffic volume and turning movement counts, count data must be delivered in electronic
format(PDF and/or Excel/CSV).
• For Pedestrian and Bicycle counts, compiled count data must be delivered in electronic format
(Excel/CSV). The spreadsheet must have each record identified by its Station ID and Count ID.
A field name data dictionary must be provided to translate field names to the attribute list in
Attachment A.
